In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an economy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an attitude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it.

Understand your life, talent, work, ideas as art
Revisado: 12-31-14
What did you love best about The Icarus Deception?
Seth Godin helped me to understand that art isn't limited to people who paint, sculpt, etc. He made me discover art in everything that I do.
What did you like best about this story?
Seth is not reading his story. He's speaking to me about how I can change how I look at everything that I do.
What does Seth Godin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Seth's passion comes through in his voice. His beliefs ring-out clearly to anyone willing to listen. You won't get that off the page of a book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Seth told me (paraphrasing): Don't wait for your CEO to pick you. Don't wait for your boss to pick you. YOU need to pick YOU. I'll never wait to be "ordained" by any human being again!
Any additional comments?
I began to understand Seth's power when I read "Purple Cow Marketing." He shows a dimension in the book that goes way beyond business. This is a very intelligent, insightful gentlemen that we all need to listen to.

Vinh Chung was born in South Vietnam, just eight months after it fell to the communists in 1975. His family was wealthy, controlling a rice-milling empire worth millions; but within months of the communist takeover, the Chungs lost everything and were reduced to abject poverty. Knowing that their children would have no future under the new government, the Chungs decided to flee the country. In 1979, they joined the legendary “boat people” and sailed into the South China Sea, despite knowing that an estimated two hundred thousand of their countrymen had already perished at the hands of brutal pirates and violent seas.

Did you whine or complain today?? READ this book!
Revisado: 08-20-14
Would you listen to Where the Wind Leads again? Why?
I definitely will listen to this book again and again. Vinh Chung's story would be remarkable if it were fiction. The fact that he and his family turned a nightmare into the "American Dream" is both inspiring and incredible.
What did you like best about this story?
Vinh's family story gave me a frightening perspective of the aftermath of the Vietnam war. I was moved by his description of the best and most horrifying elements of human behavior.
What does Josh Aaron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I felt like Josh was speaking directly to me---he made the delivery of this incredible story very personal for me. This is the magic of Audible books!!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Ninety-nine per centers be forewarned: You're going to find impossible to complain about your 'tough' life in America after seeing the Chung's story on film!"
